A relevant tribute to the church was hosted by the newspaper City Free Press

Its symbolic character refers to the tents set up during the Turkish invasion of the Forest of Achna, where the refugees from the occupied Achna, Famagusta and the surrounding villages were hosted.

Inside the temple are sculptures depicting the drama of the refugee.
